  • Ep-16: Sasha Vinogradova, Senior Designer at The Mill LA.
    Sasha Vinogradova's concepts and artworks are everywhere: from billboard campaigns for GAME OF THRONES and NARCOS, to opening titles for the 3rd season of TRUE DETECTIVE. The short film “SOMETHING LIKE LONELINESS”, which she produced and art-directed, recently premiered at SXSW and is hot on the festival trail.
    But her origin story is even more spectacular: Born in Russia, Sasha was working as a web-designer in Moscow when a fan-art personal project of hers went viral and reached the team behind the actual Game of Thrones marketing campaign.
    She was literally put on a plane and flown to LA, where she’s been working on print campaigns for the biggest films and shows at the “And Company” creative agency.
    A few years later she now works for The Mill, one of the most well known post-production facilities, where she is art-directing motion ads as a senior designer and part of the "Mill Plus" team, working on the company's most creatively ambitious and experimental projects.
    Her talent and craftsmanship are acknowledged and celebrated by the creative design world in various ways: her work has been featured on various trade magazines and as an Adobe Max featured artist she was invited to a series of live-streams of key-art sessions.
    “You know, I noticed - you need to like make a wish in your head: 'I wanna do this, or that, or bla bla bla...' and as soon as you stop caring about it it kinda comes your way! Sometimes it's just hard to stop caring about it..."
    In this episode we talked about:
    - The role of an art director at The Mill.
    - What exactly is "The Mill Plus".
    - Why she's such a fan of working at the mill LA.
    - Her "Cinderella"-esque origins story, starting out as an engineer in Russia.
    - About always learning new skills and software, and staying motivated and inspired by others.
    Opening and closing song: "14 Days" by Akın Sevgör.

  • Episode 13: Till Nowak - German digital artist, filmmaker, and concept designer
    Originally from Germany, Till Nowak currently lives in Los Angeles and does concept art for films like Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok, The Lion King and The Mouse Guard.
    As a filmmaker, he gained international attention with his short films "Delivery" (2005), "The Centrifuge Brain Project" (2011) and "Dissonance" (2015), which received more than 80 international awards. He also is responsible for several large scale public light art installations on historic buildings, such as the Rendsburg high bridge.
    Till’s work stands out due to its signature style merging surreal and complex (escherian) visual constructs with down-and-gritty documentary-style live-action footage, all cut together with an impeccable sense of pacing and great musical backdrops.
    “In the art departments I animate things a lot. A lot of the concepts are still images, but every once in a while I present something to the production designer that’s moving. [...] Ten years ago they were shocked that things were suddenly moving. I didn’t realize it was a big deal.”
